Around a week ago, on ArXiv, an interesting research paper appeared, which is about the music style transfer using GAN, which is also my main topic for recent few months. Around a week ago, on arXiv, an interesting research paper appeared, which can be applied to the music style transfer using GAN, which is also my main topic for recent few months. There are already many researches on the style transfer of the images, and one of my main projects now is making the style transfer in music.
I want to introduce some GAN model I have studied after I started working for the digital signal process. I will skip technical detail of the introduction. My goal is to provide a minimal background information.
Revolution in deep learning As we have seen at the post of VAE, generative model can be useful in machine learning. Not only one can classify the data but also can generate new data we do not have.
NVIDIA research team published a paper, Progressive Growing of GANs for Improved Quality, Stability, and Variation, and the source code on Github a month ago.
I went through some trials and errors to run the codes properly, so I want to make it easier to you. Why I think this post will be helpful is the Github page is not supporting to post issues to ask and answer for inquiries.
I had a trip to Quebec city for 4 days. Behind the lingering from the travel, I prepared for the meetup this week. I could not join it because of birthday dinner with my girlfriend. However, I studied the original paper seriously, and the topic involves some interesting ideas, so I want to introduce about it.
Long short term memory (LSTM) To understand the paper, precedently, need to understand LSTM. I recommend chapter 10 of the deeplearning book.
Mark who I met in machine learning study meetup had recommended me to study a research paper about discrete variational autoencoder. I have read today. As so does variational inference, it includes many mathematical equations, but what the author wants to tell was very straightforward. Two previous posts, Variational Method, Independent Component Analysis, are relevant to the following discussion.
Autoencoder To understand the paper, above all, we need to know what the autoencoder is and what variational autoencoder is.
